ALEPPO, SYRIA - At least 20 people were killed yesterday in Aleppo when a residential building
was hit by a rocket from a warplane as the government’s daily bombardment of the northern Syrian
city continued, activists said.

More than 500 people have been killed across Aleppo province in two weeks of a fierce government
offensive with rockets and barrel bombs, doctors and human-rights groups reported.

Meanwhile, Syrian forces launched mortar shells yesterday at a border village in neighboring
Lebanon and wounded 10 Syrian refugees, one critically, Lebanese state media reported. Abu Hamzeh,
a rebel fighter in nearby Arsal, said the mortar rounds struck two cars carrying refugees, killing
a woman and her child.
